This is my first post on this blog. I thought that the first post should be about a song with grand orchestration perhaps the best song in TFM (or even IFM). Hence my pick is Rakkamma song from Thalapathi.
Rakkama is one of the well orchestrated songs in IFM. IMO, the best orchestrated song in IFM. It's a well known fact that this song was in World's Top 10 songs for a long time. The violin arrangement in this song is absolutely mind-blowing. Raaja's creativity at its height. The song starts with a solo Guitar prelude, then comes the stunning symphony which can be heard throughout the song. SPB's voice is another plus in this song. You can enjoy this legend's voice thoroughly especially when he sings "hmmm...hmmm" at the end of the song. Kudos!
Another beautiful part in this song is the slowpaced bit song at the end of the song. Is that what you call creativity?
Overall, a breathtaking composition!!!
Listen to the interludes here,
Prelude,
First interlude,
Second interlude,
Closing humming,
Isn't that mind-blowing?

This song was for mass and everyone instantly liked the rhythm and I was no exception in those days. But, the depth in this song is such that a Vidwan or a western classical expert or even a layman like me will appreciate it!!
Adhu allavo genius?
Welcome to my new blow Enjay!
All credits to Raaja sir who has made this layman to write about his composition. Privileged to write about his orchestration!
